CartoPac International: Incorporating Tablet-based Solutions to Enhance Field Operations

The current field services landscape is proliferated with mobile devices, field computers, laser range finders, and bar code readers. There is a large opportunity to harness the power of these mobile devices into a cohesive enterprise data system. However, the challenge lies in developing and implementing systems that manage mobile devices to provide users with the information and applications they need in a reliable and secure environment. To assist CIOs in integrating mobile appliances into the enterprise infrastructure with applications that improve the efficiency of their company, CartoPac, a Colorado-based company, is adept at deploying applications on tablets— ensuring that users are well-connected with their team members. In addition to the high productivity field data collection, CartoPac Mobile also provides routing directions for users and location services.

CartoPac constantly listens to its users for staying abreast of technology developments in mobile and enterprise technology. “With the advent of mobile devices, the number of field users have also drastically increased,” states Carl Lee, Chairman and CEO, CartoPac. The company developed Workflow Manager to manage data that flows in and out of the enterprise from the field in an efficient and timely manner. “Field data is often lost and delayed in getting into the enterprise systems which further delays actions and analytics,” says Lee. CartoPac’s Workflow Manager delivers organizations with structured and organized processes that result in better decision making, improved productivity and lowered costs. Workflow Manager has been successfully implemented in oil production, electric transmission, and pipelines.

CartoPac’s platform is largely “out of the box” which further adds benefits of time to deployment, return on investment, and long term sustainability. For instance, CartoPac Studio is a one kind of a tool that enables CartoPac to seamlessly connect with enterprise databases like SQL and Oracle, and systems such as ArcGIS. Data is packaged and deployed to mobile devices as a subset of these databases. Also, CartoPac Studio enables the configuration of business rules to drive field applications.
